Chirinos allowed four hits and one walk across 5.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the White Sox. He struck out five.
Chirinos was sharp once again as he headlined the Rays' "bullpen game." The 24-year-old has now thrown 14.1 scoreless innings to start the season, striking out 12 while keeping a tidy 0.70 WHIP over that stretch. His third consecutive strong showing could prompt the Rays to reward him with a permanent spot in their rotation.
